Chapter 150: Spoils, Spoils, Sp…
[Mirage Cloud Mirror]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Perfect]
[Description: A special technique used by the Mirage Monsters that enables them to observe things a long distance away, but it requires an environment relevant enough to the mirage.]
Ji Ye sensed the property of the spoils dropped by the Mirage Dragon that was destroyed by the Flood Dragon Alpha Wolf.
He was extremely satisfied with the battle just then.
When facing a Mirage Dragon resurrected by the Mirage Monsters, a fight might not be necessary.
Because this Mirage Dragon was only formed by the remaining power in the skeleton of the Mirage Dragon underground that was activated by the Mirage Monsters. It couldn’t leave the area where the remains lay.
When the waterspout formed by the seawater they controlled couldn’t contain Ji Ye, who had the Flood Dragon Bloodline, two Commander-level heroes would easily retreat first.
They could have waited until the Mirage Dragon dissipated on its own before they returned to clear the battlefield. That way, they wouldn’t encounter much danger, but they definitely wouldn’t receive the skill with the Perfect evaluation!
“To some extent, this is a miraculous skill!”
Ji Ye was smiling.
Because he had learned some information after he comprehended the skill.
Theoretically, wherever there was light in the sea, he could use the Mirage Cloud Mirror to see the view in the distance through the reflection of the seawater overhead. Apart from the sea, he could also use the light reflected by the clouds in the sky to see further distance!
That was why when the Mirage Monsters fought against the Sludge Monsters, they could mimic the Sludge Monsters’ appearances from hundreds of meters away and even create illusions of attacks.
“Even so, the principle of this skill seems familiar somehow.”
Ji Ye found the reflection principle quite familiar. It then occurred to him that radio wave communication worked exactly the same way.
Maybe he could try to use this skill to achieve long-distance “video communication”.
“Well, could the legendary ‘Great Heaven Mirror’ used by the Jade Emperor use this principle as well?”
Ji Ye smiled.
Of course, he was only joking.
Whatever that might be, the Mirage Cloud Mirror was indeed a very useful skill, especially in detecting the enemy movements. It was a miracle worker.
Theoretically, unless the Eagle Men had some way to cover the sky—
Or if they only moved at night… Otherwise, it would be very difficult to avoid his Mirage Cloud Mirror.
Apart from this kill, the other spoils of war dropped by the Mirage Monsters also gave Ji Ye a pleasant surprise.
There were some aqua blue semi-transparent stones!
[Sea Stone]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-1]
[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]
[Description: Stones formed in the sea, each one equivalent to a piece of solid seawater. When wearing a Sea Stone, sea creatures could also move freely on land!]
“Why does the property of this thing sound familiar as well?
“Please don’t tell me that the ocean outside is known as the Great Line.”
The property of this object reminded him of something similar in a manga.
However, Ji Ye could more or less guess where these Sea Stones came from.
Because they weren’t found only in the territory of the Mirage Monsters; they were also in the spoils of war from the Snapping Dragon Turtles as well.
Apparently, this was what Ruan Xiaoer let the settlement soldiers report to him earlier, the object that caused a war between the Mirage Monsters and the Snapping Dragon Turtles.
“It was very unfortunate for the Mirage Monsters. They tried to attack the Sludge Monsters’ settlement first so that they could use their skin to get ashore, but they only suffered a heavy defeat and lost nearly half of their army. When they finally found another object that could help them to get on land, they were annihilated shortly afterward. What a waste of their natural advantages.
“But to me, the Sea Stones are even more useful than most of the resources we have now!”
Holding a Sea Stone, Ji Ye sensed the ocean energy in it as well as the Flood Dragon Bloodline inside himself.
“Flood Dragon Bloodline” was doubtlessly very powerful, but to exert its full power, he had to be in the water. That used to be a problem for him.
But with the Sea Stones, Ji Ye would be able to turn the land into his own territory.
“M… Master, the spoils… of the… Snapping Dragon Turtles… are fantastic!”
Ji Ye had been examining the spoils from the Mirage Monsters.
On the other side, Ruan Xiaoer had been looking through the objects dropped by the Snapping Dragon Turtles.
Although it was difficult to make out his words after he dropped his Sludge Monster mask, he looked as happy as Ji Ye was.
Because next to him, the Extraordinary Rank-4 Quasi-Commander killed by Ji Ye had lost the white light covering its entire body.
The Snapping Dragon Turtle didn’t look much different from before at first, but its property…
[Snapping Dragon Turtle Boat]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-4]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: A special boat transformed from the Snapping Dragon Turtle after it was refined by the providence of the Human race. It has a great defensive ability. Because of the hint of dragon blood in them, it could intimidate some ordinary sea creatures. When its extraordinary power is activated, it could also gain a great burst of speed!]
The entire Snapping Dragon Turtle had turned into a boat.
The shell on the top could open, letting people walk in.
Because the Snapping Dragon Turtle was over four meters in its length and width and over two meters high, there was enough room inside to fit in five or six people.
If they were to squeeze themselves in, it could even fit in two to three more.
The Snapping Dragon Turtle’s limbs had turned into oars that they could control from the inside to provide propulsion for the boat.
In addition, the turtle’s mouth could also open and shut under control. It was quite a heavy turtle.
Theoretically, they could even fit a Frost Iron Cannon inside, which would fire through the turtle’s mouth, turning the turtle into a gunboat.
Moreover, because the Snapping Dragon Turtles had the ability to control the water currents, they could float or sink in the sea. Since it could be sealed off completely, if they lined the interior with the Sludge Monster’s skin, they could have continuous air exchange in the boat…
Apparently, this Snapping Dragon Turtle Boat had the full potential to become a submarine.
“Maybe we can use this boat to ambush the Eagle Men.”
Ji Ye was struck by this idea.
One side of the Eagle Men’s nests were close to the sea, and they could even see them from above the sea.
The only thing they needed to be wary of was probably the Eagle Men’s arrows. Not only were they very accurate, but they were very powerful as well.
The Snapping Dragon Turtle Boat obviously had an advantage in that aspect as well.
Because even when attacked by Ji Ye’s Flood Dragon Blood combined with the Nine Yang Divine Art, the Snapping Dragon Turtle shell only cracked and didn’t shatter.
Theoretically, even an arrow from the Eagle Men’s Commander wouldn’t be able to break its defense.
“Well, after we build the sniper rifles, we can actually try it!”
Ji Ye reached out to touch the Snapping Dragon Turtle Boat’s hideous head that was covered by scales.
He could sense that just like the Black Serpent Sword, this boat, to some extent, resonated with his Flood Dragon Bloodline, which meant that he could control this boat from a distance away.
He could even enhance this boat with his Flood Dragon Blood.
“Chief Ruan, find some men after we get back, and let them get familiar with how to operate this boat!”
Ji Ye told Ruan Xiaoer, who was also fascinated by the boat.
There was more than one Snapping Dragon Turtle boat, but this one had a higher level. Not every Snapping Dragon Turtle killed had dropped rewards, but two other turtles still gave them two smaller ones that were Extraordinary Rank-3 of the Refined quality.
Together, they had provided the Liang Shan navy, which had the least number of people, with their own strategic equipment.
When they killed all the Mirage Monsters, the Human race naturally took hold of the dead body of the Mirage Dragon.
Ji Ye was already considering putting together a special navy force.
Moreover, the last turtle killed by the dragonized Black Serpent Sword also dropped a large lump of “dragon blood”!
[Snapping Dragon Turtle Blood]
[Level: Extraordinary]
[Rarity: Refined]
[Description: The Snapping Dragon Turtles had a tiny amount of dragon’s blood in them. Once fused, there is a chance that one could obtain Extraordinary Snapping Dragon Turtle Bloodline, and there is also a chance of mutation.]
It was indeed a very large lump, which was as big as a grown man’s head, but the property wasn’t very satisfying.
After it was fused, it could mutate or “turtlize”. One couldn’t even obtain the Flood Dragon Bloodline.
“Not bad.”
However, Ji Ye was quite happy with the spoils of war.
It was simply because when he fused the blood of the Black Serpent before, he had transformed the Black Serpent Blood into a small amount of Flood Dragon Blood.
It made him realize that, through Fusion, he should be able to transform the essence of dragon-blood creatures into Flood Dragon Blood.
The Flood Dragon Blood had amazing properties, but it was formed very slowly. Although he had obtained the Flood Dragon Bloodline, he only had a very small amount of True Flood Dragon Blood in him.
With this method, he could use the blood of dragon blood creatures to replenish it.
Other than that, there were also Mirage Stones, Colorful Bubbles, Snapping Dragon Turtle Shields, and many Stones of Civilization and Souls of Civilization scattering around on the battlefield.
Although only two people participated in this battle, the reward was much more significant than any of the battles before.
